With over 3,000 registered payday loan businesses and an overall population of 25 million people, Texas represents one of the most prolific markets for payday lenders in the industry.

Not only that, but there are many large metropolitan clusters in Texas surrounding the large cities Dallas, Ft. Worth, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio.  There’s a saying in Texas that when the weather is hot, there’s nothing else to do but shop and eat. A typical street corner in Dallas has at least two banks and two fast food restaurants, so consumers are invited to get money and spend money just about every waking moment. Texas highways and byways are set up to prime the capitalistic consumer engine and breed success in the retail business. Intercity freeways are gigantic advertising corridors for anyone who wants to hang out their shingle, making this market a hotbed for business owners.

One such business that has been the beneficiary of that formula is the payday loan industry.  What formerly was a little known product based in check cashing stores or pawn shops, has grown into a professional, regulated, and mainstream industry.  In 2010, it was at $40 billion.

With all the instability in traditional cornerstone investments like the stock market and real estate, many investors have taken a look at the payday loan industry as an option.  The industry is tuned to adapt to the idiosyncrasies of the cash strapped, credit challenged consumer.  Payday loan businesses were built by adapting to many of the problems that Wall Street cannot.

Are you looking for something new?  Are you growing weary of the daily picture that CNN shows you of the beleaguered NYSE trader looking down at his desk after yet another hard plummet of the market?
